Best Answer

Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire in roughly 393 A.D. by Emperor Theodosius. Emperor Constantine ended the persecution in 313 A.D with the Edict of Milan. It wasn't until roughly 80 years later until it became the Official religion of Rome in about 393 A.D.

Constantine's decision to end the persecution was influenced by his mother, a devout Christian.

When did Rome adopt Christianity?

A:The apostle Paul tells us that there was already a Christian community in Rome in the middle of the first century. Furthermore, Emperor Nero blamed the Christians of Rome for the Great Fire. In fact, Rome was the only centre in western Europe that had a significant Christian population until the end of the third century. In the fourth century, Emperor Constantine adopted Christianity and did everything possible to encourage Romans to adopt Christianity, even offering every Roman convert a white garment, with twenty pieces of gold. With inducements for converts and growing persecution of the pagan temples, the Christian faith grew rapidly in Rome, but paganism remained the dominant religion.Theodosius made Christianity the official religion of Rome in 381, which meant that his subjects were required to become Christians.

Did Galileo become a hero in Rome when his ideas were published?

Quite the opposite. He was called a heretic and given a choice of renouncing his beliefs or being excommunicated from the church, which would guarantee him a place in hell. He recanted his helio-centric statements, but in 1993, 351 years after his death, the Catholic Church officially decided his views were correct.


Do all Catholic churches face Rome?

By definition, yes; all Catholic Churches are Roman Catholic.However, there are two sects. There are those in union with Rome(the Vatican/Pope) and those not in union with Rome. Those in union with Rome follow the changes made in Vatican II.Catholic Answer:If they are not in full union with Rome, they are NOT Catholic. They can call themselves whatever they wish but that does not make them so. It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church.
